-Docker image searxng/searxng
-============================
+.. tip::
+ If you intend to create a public instance using Docker, use our well
+ maintained searxng-docker_ image which includes
-The docker image is `searxng/searxng <https://hub.docker.com/r/searxng/searxng>`_ (based on `github.com/searxng/searxng <https://github.com/searxng/searxng>`_).
+ - :ref:`protection <searx filtron>` `[filtron]`_,
+ - a :ref:`result proxy <searx morty>` `[morty]`_ and
+ - a HTTPS reverse proxy `[caddy]`_.
-Make sure you have `installed Docker <https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/>`_. For instance, you can deploy a local instance:
+Make sure you have `installed Docker <https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/>`_ and
+on Linux, don't forget to add your user to the docker group (log out and log
+back in so that your group membership is re-evaluated):
.. code:: sh
- export PORT=80
- docker pull searxng/searxng
- docker run --rm -d -v ${PWD}/searx:/etc/searx -p $PORT:8080 -e BASE_URL=http://localhost:$PORT/ searxng/searxng
+ $ sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER
-Go to ``http://localhost:$PORT``.
-Inside ``${PWD}/searx``, you will find ``settings.yml`` and ``uwsgi.ini``.
-You can modify these files according to your needs and restart the Docker image.

+.. sidebar:: ``docker run``
-Command line
-------------
+ - `-\-rm <https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#clean-up---rm>`__
+ automatically clean up when container exits
+ - `-d <https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#detached--d>`__ start
+ detached container
+ - `-v <https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#volume-shared-filesystems>`__
+ mount volume ``HOST:CONTAINER``
+The docker image is based on :origin:`Dockerfile` and available from
+`searxng/searxng @dockerhub`_. Using the docker image is quite easy, for
+instance you can pull the `searxng/searxng @dockerhub`_ image and deploy a local
+instance using `docker run <https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/>`_:
.. code:: sh
- docker run --rm -it searxng/searxng -h
+ $ mkdir my-instance
+ $ cd my-instance
+ $ export PORT=8080
+ $ docker pull searxng/searxng
+ $ docker run --rm \
+ -d -p ${PORT}:8080 \
+ -v "${PWD}/searx:/etc/searx" \
+ -e "BASE_URL=http://localhost:$PORT/" \
+ -e "INSTANCE_NAME=my-instance" \
+ searxng/searxng
+ 2f998.... # container's ID
-.. program-output:: ../dockerfiles/docker-entrypoint.sh -h
+Open your WEB browser and visit the URL:
+.. code:: sh
-Build the image
----------------
+ $ xdg-open "http://localhost:$PORT"
+
+Inside ``${PWD}/searx``, you will find ``settings.yml`` and ``uwsgi.ini``. You
+can modify these files according to your needs and restart the Docker image.
+
+.. code:: sh
-It's also possible to build SearXNG from the embedded Dockerfile.
+ $ docker container restart 2f998
+
+Use command ``container ls`` to list running containers, add flag `-a
+<https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/container_ls>`__ to list
+exited containers also. With ``container stop`` a running container can be
+stoped. To get rid of a container use ``container rm``:
.. code:: sh
- git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git
- cd searx
- make docker.build
+ $ docker container ls
+ CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED ...
+ 2f998d725993 searxng/searxng "/sbin/tini -- /usr/…" 7 minutes ago ...
+
+ $ docker container stop 2f998
+ $ docker container rm 2f998
+
+.. sidebar:: Warning
+
+ This might remove all docker items, not only those from searxng.
+
+If you won't use docker anymore and want to get rid of all conatiners & images
+use the following *prune* command:
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ docker stop $(docker ps -aq) # stop all containers
+ $ docker system prune # make some housekeeping
+ $ docker rmi -f $(docker images -q) # drop all images
+
+
+shell inside container
+----------------------

-Public instance
+Like in many other distributions, Alpine's `/bin/sh
+<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh>`__ is :man:`dash`. Dash is meant to be
+`POSIX-compliant <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799>`__.
+Compared to debian, in the Alpine image :man:`bash` is not installed. The
+:origin:`dockerfiles/docker-entrypoint.sh` script is checked *against dash*
+(``make tests.shell``).
+
+To open a shell inside the container:
+
+.. code:: sh
+
+ $ docker exec -it 2f998 sh
+
